Is the update for us 9PP folks too?

Yes, but S9PP can hold less watch faces in the memory than Vertical or Race.
I think it is 4 vs 9 .

@isazi where I can report bug with watch face?

also i want ask about this 59km - this is distance is only from training or its training + steps?

I’ve also found a watch face bug. The accent color is always white on the vertical watch face.

One small step for Suunto but a huge leap for everyday user experience

I love this feature! Big flashy displays need beautiful watchfaces.

Egika

@halajos not really.
there is just not too much accent.
Try weather and you’ll see the color in the days
Try the seconds hand and it has the accent color.
Try the date that has the accent color.

halajos

@Egika indeed. I hope we’ll get all the accent back

isazi

@karmazynowycukiereczek that is training only

@isazi pity

@Egika Perfect for me! I don’t need 5 more that I won’t use
Good direction from Suunto - it should be noted that they have released more updates than Garmin (at least for the 955) this year!

@Egika I like this approach much better. We have the option of accent colored or white complications. Hopefully that will be expanded in the future so we can choose accent colors for each element/complication as we see fit. I love the fact that I’ve gone from something like a dozen watch faces to just the 4, plus default, that I choose. I am hoping that the K14 and Suunto Arrow watch faces are going to add compass functionality in the future. I got very excited when I saw them and then a bit disappointed that they are just aesthetic and non-functional. I don’t love the reshaping of the sword hands on the classic analog watch face, but it’s ok.

Also, with this ability to pipeline watch faces without updates, will we see event watch faces, like UTMB or Tour de France, marathons, etc, next year?

All in all this is a 10 out of 10 update. There are some slight issues, but it’s a huge step in the right direction.

Great work Suunto!

Will Suunto after this update be adding new watch faces regularly ?

Tieutieu

@Mikotimo It has already been discussed : now that watchfaces are independant from FW releases, it’s likely that new ones could come easily, so I guess answer to your question is a Yes (but no one can say how many and how often new ones will come)

TitaniumDave

@Mikotimo I would guess that they would be released at least quarterly, like major updates. Otherwise, I’m not sure what you mean by “regularly”.

It bothers me that thrid “biggest” widget (solar/weather for next 3h/ baro etc) changes color only and two upper always white now. Small thing but I cant unseen it. I hope “old” Vertical watchface will come back that changes accent to all widgets.

Mikotimo

@TitaniumDave i mean every month

@kriskus said in Watchfaces in S+ store:

@isazi Should we also tell our friends that they will be able again to cycle through the complications by tapping on the screen like it used to be? (not that I miss that personally, but it was rather frequently raised after the last update)

I miss this feature and would like to have it back.
For example, I often switched between the date an actual altitude complication.
Now, I have to decide for one.
If I‘m at work, I would like to have the date, on weekends I would like to have the alti!
Why should I constantly change the complication field in the settings??
Very annoying and a step back!
I rather can do without downloadable watch faces than without switchable complications.

But, I guess no suunto developer will notice this feedback…

@morm1 just reorder your widgets and put altitude as first one, and in only one click you can check altitude, faster than clicking on the complication n times.
